I listen to Hillary Clinton people talk about the election. Every thing they say is because Bernie Sanders disrespects Obama.
First of all it's not true. But also it shows how weak the case for Hillary Clinton is when they have to stoop to that.
Her strength was supposed to be "qualifications", meaning experience on foreign affairs and security because of her supposed tons of experience.
Well now she's lost that too. Her supporting the invasion of Iraq and regime change in Syria and Libya, it all turned out to be a huge mistake. She showed how totally clueless and disconnected from reality a politician could be when she tied herself to psychopath warmaker Dr. Henry Kissinger.
So what they have left is to trash Sanders and repeat shit like he disrespects Obama. The sad thing is it will probably work.

If you think you can't criticize the President maybe you should move to Russia.

(7,820 posts)But then everything about the campaign is very top-down and authoritarian. It's about us supporting (or not supporting) them. It's furor that an outsider is crashing "their" party. It's loyalty oaths and "he's not even a Democrat and if you support him you must not be either"
"Not me. Us" is a concept that would never occur to them.
